I've just picked up whatever size K-Mart and Pep Boys usually stock and it was correct.

7.7 mm OD

32 tpi, or 0.794 mm pitch

Minor diameter is 6.9

Thread designation is .305-32 or 7.7-32

A 5/16-32 nut might fit...if you could find one. Those are pretty rare as well.

Thank the Duryea brothers for such a whacked-out designation.

Okay, hang on, the inside thread for the valve stem core is a 0.209 x 36. Both are UNS 60 degree forms.

It's close to a 7/32-36 UNEF screw.

I always think about the outside first. That's what I bugger up.

BTW, you're not having any luck with web searches because you're mis-spelling "Schrader". Probably. Keywords are: Shrader Valve Stem Thread Pitch and you get a link to the Engineering Forum at Eng-Tips.com.
